You might have noticed that in the previous post (see "Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit [Again]") that all of my games that I cited had links to earlier posts here - except one.
How could I have missed sharing perrypawnpusher - zmagic, blitz, FICS, 2007 (1/2 - 1/2, 51) ?
I consulted The Database (with 8,250 games with the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit, by the way) and found my answer.
Here is the final position of the game

| perrypawnpusher - zmagic, blitz, FICS 2007 |
With an overwhelming material advantage, I had just played 51.Kh3, creating a stalemate position.
Ooops!
With my King at h4, I could have played 51.Qb1+ Kg2 52.Qf5 Kh1 53.Qh3 checkmate.
